Overview

Brandfontein is an isolated kite spot on the southern Overberg coast, between Agulhas and Arniston. This stretch of wild coast faces south, directly exposed to the Southern Ocean. Conditions are powerful with constant swell and strong wind. The landscape is typical of the south coast — flat, arid and wind-beaten. Spot reserved for advanced riders due to isolation and exposure.
